THAT "SHOW BUSINESS. +"
Letter From Texas Regarding
The Now Prevalent
Custom.

The following letter from a gentle
man at present principal of the pub
lie schools at Ennis, Texas, and who
is known all over this part of the
country, as an able and experienced
educator, explains itself:
ENNIS, Ten, March 3, 1887.
Editor BayO0:-
For your editorial, in the BAZoo
OF March LIST, ON the grandest hum
bug of the educational system of this
end Of the nineteenth century, | most
heartily thank you.
| have fought the "show business
for the last twenty years and am still
kicking. But, what are We to do
when the dear people demand it,
build opera aneXes, stages, ETC., to
their pubic schools. visit their chill
dren in school only ON "shOw days,
bat never to hear their reading, arith-
metic, or bread and meat.
Why, a parent who apparently
take no interest whatever in his child's
practical education, Will buy thirteen
Yards of blue ribbon to
tie on the same child, to hear it say
in suffering phrase, Mary had a
little lamb" Or the larger boy
stamp his foot and exclaim in stento-
rian tones, Lord Angus, thou hast
lied"
| know school "GOd save the
mark, whose teachers were all tired
and worn out with their years work
in getting up shows, exhibitions,
entertainments, etc., and one lady
teacher actually died from Overwsrk
at the senseless business. But the
patrons demanded it, and grOwled if
they did not have it. You ask, "whO
is to blameg" | answer the patrons.
"What do we pay taxes for if We
can't have free show? what are
teachers for, if we can't control them
and make our children show off ?"
Give it to them again. Yours for an
advance along the line. f. w. p.

An Invention Which Makes 1t Possible to
Remove the Dial From Safes.
A new electric Formulation safe lock
has just been patented by Chicagoan
which differs materially from all other
safe locks in the fact that there is no
orifice to speak of in the door of the
safe. The dial, which is such a con-
spicuous feature on the ordinary safe,
has no connection in this invention, ex-
cept by electric wires. with the body of
the safe. and may lie on the cashiers

Is very simple. The dial rests in

and SCI permit OF the throwing back of
the bolt bar. This releases Il spring or
body of compressed air. rs the case

A Grand Project.

The present city administration is
turning its attention to securing good
outlets and inlets TO the city. The
plan contemplated is to secure the
thorough building, grading and mac
adamizing of the main thOrOughfares
to the city limits, and then get the
county court to prosecute the work
outside, thus furnishing first-class
highways, by which the country peo-
pie may at all times get to the city.
Experience has long since proven
that, not excepting even railroads,
this is the most Important adj
vantage that can possibly be pursued,
by any city, great or small, so far as
the development OF It's trade and COM
merce Is concerned. twenty-five
years ago St. Louis passed a monop-
oly west Of the Mississippi river 50 far
as railroads were concerned, but at
that time it took loaded team twelve
hours to reach the city from FentOn
on the Missouri river, and like ada.
cent points twenty miles distant AZ
that time gravel road was c0mplet-
ed to HillsbOro in jefferson county.
The city limits were extended to en-
brace the whole of 81. Louis county.
and turnpikes were butt in all direc-
tons. A twenty mile journey by
pike now embraces from
three to four hours for heavy
laden teams and two hours for light
rigs, and it is estimated that the turn
pike traffic and travel for radius of
twenty-five miles around exceeds that
of all the railroads combined. Ii be-
hOoves the people then TO uphold their
council in their effort and to send to /,

in order that the project, /
which is favorably considered by the |

A Hughesville Blaze.

AT $50 a. m. yesterday, a very de-
structive fire originated in the drug
store of n. J. Smith at Hughesville,
Mo-, which, owing to the high wind
prevailing and the absence of any
fire extinguishing apparatus, destroyed
that and three adjoining buildings
before the flames could be subdued.
The origin of the fire seems to be al
ugether a mystery. The property
destroyed was as follows: n. j.
Smiths drug store, stock valued at
$500, building 81, 900, total 81, 800.
j. n McNees general merchan-
disc, loss on stock $4,000, on build
ing, the property of Mrs. N. A. Jones
$4,000.
Mont Magruder's boots ~ shoes
stock, and building 81 900.
Vacant store house, the property of
Mrs. Reuben Gentry, $500
Total loss $4,000. All the property
is well insured, but for what amounts
was not learned.
